But as the, increased yew apon Malt and Pensions would ditninish the produce Of the Consolidated Ftind, to the amount of :;50,0(sol. and, howev6r sanguine his view might be :of the state of the trade of the' Country, he *id pot but admit, that frdrp the measures of theYnetny, and the eonsequences of the coarse in which the trade was npw to be carri e d Otj,same reduaion might !eke place, though not to any material extent, be wa s of opinion that the surplus ought to be taken at the' sane arriount as' last year, though he wasconf}dent that Would be found below what it would produce. And here he could not, in passieg, abstain from advert iniS-to the operation by which font- millions out of the twelve, which were the - whore to be borrowed for the year, had been obtained by funding Ex» chequer Bills to that amount.' As far as could y'et be Judged, there was every mason to believe that , thetransaaion was highly favourable fo r the publi c . There was a saving to the antoent of the interest' of the Exchequer Bills thes withdraWn ttoM, the , market, which would not be the case if tour mil lions out of twelve, the whole sum wanted for the year, hattbeen borrowed on a 5 per cent. capital. The Committee was aware, that subsequent to the transaftion the funds had risen, and be entertained at the time en expeaaiion that the contre6t for the future.loen would be Made upon inuch more fa vourable terms . for, the public, than if these four niillions were to have, been borrowed on a 3 per cent. fund. Th e imniediate effea of the operation was, that as no new. capital stock had been created • it, the m'trket, the Sinking Fund had applied with more effeEt upon the old stock, and consequently produced a. considerable iedmitioe. Heying stated the Supplies, and the Ways and Means by which they were to be covered, it *as in the next place his duty to state by whet means he proposed to provide for the ineerest, chargee,.and sinking fund of the Ex chequer Bills lUnded, and of the, proposed loan, which amounted to . 3 suns of '750,0001. There existed at present a sum of 380,0001. applicable to that purpose, being the amount of the short an nuities which had'fallen in. 'There was likewise a saving upon the management, of the public eleht of 63,0001. By the nessi arrangemeut with- respect to the assessed taxes, a sum of t 25,0001. would be produced,, and l4e arrangement which he meant to propose, for an improved mode of collecting the duties on stamps, would be calculated to yield te00,0001,. , The whole of these sums would amount ty 770,0001 e being a small excess ebovo the sum actually 'required. He came next to state the view upon which he grounded the arrangement he had to propose with' respect to the Stamp Duties. The C o m. mince were aware that, in the s course of the last year, a s principle had been recognised by Parliament, founded Upon the suspension of all taxation for three years,' 'and for resorting to the war taxes to cover the necessary charges of loans. • The policyof this prins ciple hadenet with the concutrenceof all sides of the House, though some of the provisions of the men sure founded upon it . had been canvassed. Having ' Stated this, he was bound to ceplsin to the Hottse why he had thought it necessary to depart fromehe principle in the present instance, by proposing to lay.. on additional taxes to the amount of above auo,oool. and it certainly was not because he. had considered the principle laid.doWn by the Noble feord ,who pre ceded him unwise. He had tint how desirable it wag to consolidate .the different 'Ads relative to the As sessed Taxes ant; the . Stennp Duties, and considered that a good opportunity when making improved guiation* for the collection of- both, Menakea email addition in certain items.' Ho had • keady (torte siAvit roped to the Assessed Taxes, and he vvas now to propose iseimilar course with respea to the Stamp Deties. If by these - means, without adding consi derably to the hardiest of the public,. they could contrive to provide for the present e year, they Might in the next and following years resort to the pienci pie which had been so generally approved of, unless upon a review of the state of the' taxes, whoever might fill, the situation he occupied, they eheuld i be of opinim i that e 'by 'regulation and,modification, a supply could be obtained without increasing the pres sure upon the public, and to relieve the war taxes. The Committee would recolleCt that . the StatuP:Ads had been consolidated in the year IROS, the neW schedule of the . Stamp Dutie r s etying been prepared in the rear t St):}, and containing within . a slidit compass .ill the PutieS Ou'StatuPi. .The nainber of Acts relating to Stamp Puties amounted to sixty or seventy, •and those for the collection of them made the number onsthe Statute Book neerly s one hundred'. It was thought desirable to consolidate all the Aas relating to the duties into one, as also those for the regulation aed collei9isn't of the duties. :The former had been consolidated, b ut t h e l atter h ad not, an d notwithstanding theetbility and industry exerted by the Cormnissioners,. and other Officers of the depart meet,. he. would not be able to bring forward ta pro ;posit* for that purpose this Session; but the busi nese was.in such a train, that whoever might till the Office he held,,, would have it in his power to bring the measure forward. , The amended schedule would be prepared in the present Sessien, so that the dif ferent items might tle open for consideration previ ous to the passing of the,A6l, The manner in which the schedule was to be prepared, was by disposing of the several duties under different beads, by a distina arrangement, and in alphabetical order, $9 as to afford a ready reference that any person who might desire to, know what particular duty. would be ap; plicable to his case, might discover it at once. There were various ;moments at present charged under ' .the name of deeds, which would be referred to their respective lieu's, though it was lot deem e d r ight that apy . adaitioo should be tuatW to 'the amount,of`i duty at present - Uttsiiisiprs to them. A.uother aiNtr- ' lien 'would be made in certain duties now levied in Arent parts of the measure, by referring to the Sche ,- 'Scotland, ToweAs the close of King.
